Answer: IRQ1 interrupt

Explanation: IRQ1 is the hardware interrupt request which is produced from the processor side mainly reserved for keyboard input . When a key is pressed from the keyboard then a input get produced then there is a request from the main processor and this interrupt gets executed.There are some devices which do not have the keyboard still this interrupt is only preserved for it.
